Did you know the most frequently asked question regarding fireplace doors is “Can I burn my fire with the doors closed?” The answer is NO! Your glass could shatter. Also, leaving the doors open ensures the fire has enough air to burn effectively.

Style and Beauty:

Fireplace doors are not only functional keeping the cold air out of your home and the warmth in, they add a finished, decorative touch to your fireplace. After burning a fire, the firebox may have unsightly stained walls, piles of ashes, or soot stained gas logs. Our bronze or gray tinted glass covers the firebox and makes it easy to hide the remnants of a fire. You can choose from a variety of painted and anodized aluminum or steel frames from standard black to bronze, pewter, and brass with clear or tinted glass.

You’ll need an electric drill, drill bits, and a Phillips head screwdriver. If you need help, just give us a call and speak to a member of our customer service team.

Low Maintenance

Once your fireplace doors are installed, you can sit back and enjoy. We offer a glass conditioner and a glass cleaner to keep your doors looking like new for years to come.

Less Time Cleaning

Everyone loves the crackle and pop of a real wood fire. But then there’s the clean up of all the ashes afterward. Closing your glass doors after a fire hides the mess so you don’t have to clean up the firebox right away or after every fire.

Warranty Coverage

Coverage: Warranties vary by manufacturer and typically the better the door the longer the warranty.

Customer Support

If you have questions before, during, or after your purchase, feel free to contact us at 800-897-7175.

Safety

If you have small children or pets, glass doors provide a barrier to the firebox when the fireplace is not in use. Purchasing safety locks for the doors is an extra precaution.

The Number One Myth About Fireplace Doors...

Can I burn a fire with my doors closed?

The answer is, NO!

And a better question is... Why would you want to? If you burned a fire with the doors closed, most of the heat would go straight up the chimney. Fireplace doors were designed to keep cold air from coming down the chimney into the house. Before fireplace doors were available, a homeowner would have to wait until the fire went out and the flue was closed before going to bed at night. Otherwise, the house would be icy cold the next morning. Closing the fireplace doors when the fire is close to dying out not only keeps sparks from popping out of the firebox but helps keep the cold air out and the warm air in your room. Many people want the ambiance of a fire burning behind closed glass doors, but your doors are not designed to be used in that way. The tempered glass cannot withstand the heat of a full fire and can shatter into your room if the heat gets too intense. Always burn your fire with the doors open.

A final thought...

Fireplace door manufacturers frequently show photos of their doors closed, with photoshopped fires behind the glass. Although these images are visually appealing, consumers might get the idea that they should be able to burn a fire with the doors closed. We take the time to photograph our doors without the “fake fire” and educate consumers on the proper use of fireplace doors, and the importance of keeping them open when burning a fire.
